small blue

I have been having some problems with a thief ! I went to run my perch traps and found someone already had!! They were upside down and in another location so I went to run my jugs and found a staging had been cut off! My staging is 80lb test it doesn't break smooth off the loop because the jugs are not tied down they have a 2.5lb concrete weight on the bottom to keep them here I put them and this loop on the main line is 160lb class ! So without any 80lb string left on the line and the jug not where I put it I have to believe someone cut it off with a big fish on it!! I know it was larger than the 25.5 they left behind so there is no telling how big it was!! I have picked up my jugs for a few days too cool off and maybe somebody will go back to work and stop running other people lines!! here is a photo of the 25.5

pappy that is a awesome fish, are there flatheads in them waters to.

yES THERE IS AND PLENTY OF THEM i JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO KEY IN ON THEM YET?

Pappy you are getting to well known. People are watching you to close and see what you are cacthing.

Thats why everyone is running his lines,,lol,they know he will have fish on them.

I thought about putting a bunch of needles all around the floats so when they pick it up [ouch] dip them in poison ivy I can always use a hook /gaft to retrieve them!!
But I wont , I don't want to hurt them just stop them !! I spend about 6-8 bucks a day running for perch traps running jugs and hand fishing so I can't afford to play around with it at all!! Maybe I should let them see my wife, she is bigger than me shush shush don't say a word!! I heard a fellow say he wasn't afraid of the devil because he had been living with his sister for years!!!! WELL that certainly is mine , but I do live with FEAR everyday and sometimes SHE lets me go fishing

nice fish pappy

Pappy better watch out I hear the ice cracking all around you and no live lines for miles! The lord will deal with these thief's one day, or you if you catch them first!

she aint home
